Uni\u00f3n del Barrio Analysis On Trumpista Fascism & <\/span><\/h5>\n
The\u00a0Struggle For Raza Liberation<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>The purpose of this four part analysis is to offer a summary of what Uni\u00f3n del Barrio has learned about liberation\u00a0struggle within the political borders of the United States. We feel it is essential to critically analyze our struggle over time in order to better inform our members and our communities about what needs to be done now in the context of 2017, at the beginning of the Trump administration, and what we should expect going forward. Of course, before we can prepare ourselves for what is coming, we must first be very clear about how we got here. This analysis represents the culmination of ongoing internal discussion within UdB that began in November of 2016, intended to offer clarity on what must be done to resist what we have identified as trumpista fascism<\/a>. We hope our collective analytical contribution, which is divided into four parts, will help bring about some of this urgently needed political clarity:<\/p>\n

– PART ONE<\/a>: We\u00a0Owe Nothing To The Democratic Party: Let The Dead Donkey Die<\/p>\n

– PART TWO<\/a>: Republicans Hate Everyone & Everything:\u00a0Beware The Walking Dead Elephant<\/p>\n

– PART THREE<\/a>: Our Struggles Transcend The Two Party System<\/p>\n

– PART FOUR<\/a>: Touch One, Touch All<\/p>\n

Our Struggles Transcend The Two Party System<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Part Three of Four<\/p>\n

\"\"The Republican Party is the organization of trumpista fascism<\/a>\u00a0and it is our primary enemy. The Democratic Party is not at this time, nor has it ever been, a progressive organization, and it does not represent any form of \u201cpolitical left.\u201d There are, of course, some marginalized progressive\/ leftist Democrats, and there may indeed be some progressive positions supported by Democrats now and in the past. Nonetheless, as an institutional political organization, the Democratic Party has, over time, proven consistently to be a reactionary, culturally elitist, politically unprincipled\/opportunistic, economically classist, warmongering association.<\/p>\n

We are in a position now to argue that building, expanding, and consolidating Uni\u00f3n del Barrio is the most urgent path to resisting trumpista fascism<\/a>. Our communities already deal with terrible conditions on a daily basis:<\/p>\n
